Very very loosely, someone could refer to that in passing conversation as assault (verbal) and stalking.

Those behaviours are human nature in these types of situations, but it’s a long bow to draw to call them assault and stalking!

Aka, “I stalked that girl on linkedin to see where she worked as I wanted to ask her out.”
Whatever the theoretical circumstances - 'long bow' or not, 'very loose' or not - 'something' must surely have been construed as constituting assault and stalking of Carmody's staff. But if there is no record at all in CASA of any circumstance that has been construed by a staff member as assault or stalking by Glen, I have great difficulty in concluding anything other than that Carmody just made it up.
